Here's a video of my 1M being stolen a few months ago at 3am. They smashed a small area of glass (No alarm went off), used a device to reprogram a key fob trough the OBD port, then unlocked the car, pushed it off the drive and gone. In 3 minutes.

BMW can't recognise a problem with their cars. I can't understand why the alarm didn't go off, and why it only took 3 minutes to steal a £43,000 car. In the west midlands alone, 300 cars were stolen like this in March 2012 alone!

damn dude thats insane! BMW always promises how its secure.. and they dont even have an alarm if a window is broken? dude my grandmas car does that **** and my 44 grand car doesnt? thats just plain out stupid. this video will cheer you up i hope.. its this dumb kid trying to break into a car and it fails, enjoy!
